Where would you find the medulla oblongata?
medulla oblongata is situated in the brain
What are symptoms of damage to the medulla oblongata?
Symptoms of damage to the medulla oblongata is that the nerve signals between the spinal cord and the brain would no longer be working. The medulla helps to control vital functions of the brain such as breathing, blood pressure and regulating heart rate.
What is the size of the medulla oblongata in humans?
The medulla oblongata is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches long. It is the center of the nerve cells and controls the amount of air breathe and how many times you breathe a minute.
What would happen if th Medulla Oblongata was damaged?
You will have respiratory problems.
What part of the brain controlls breathing?
The part of the brain that controls breathing in the Medulla Oblongata which is located in the Hind Brain ( right on top of the spinal cord). Other functions of the Medulla Oblongata are -Regulates heart rate and diameter of blodd vessels -Acts as a passage /road between nerve tracts in the spinal cord and the upper brain. Without the Medulla Oblongata we would die.
Which part of the brain would be responsible for allowing you to breathe at night when you sleep?
The medulla oblongata
Part of brain that controls breathing?
The medulla oblongata. I'll give you a source because I wanted to double check myself. [And I shouldn't have, I would have had the first correct answer.] "The medulla oblongata is the lower portion of the brainstem. It deals with autonomic functions, such as breathing and blood pressure. The cardiac center is the part of the medulla oblongata responsible for controlling the heart rate."
What happen If the dorsal respiratory group of neurons in the medulla oblongata were destroyed bilaterally?
breathing would cease
What would happen if your medulla was removed?
I'm not sure if it's possible for you to technically break your medulla oblongata, but damage to that part of the lower portion of your brainstem could make it difficult for you to live...at least comfortably. I say this because the medulla oblongata is responsible, primarily, for controlling one's heart rate, among other autonomic functions (meaning functions that are formed involuntarily and without your conscious control). Other functions that would be affected by a medulla oblongata that was damaged would include one's respiration, reflexes, defecation, blood pressure, swallowing, etc, as the nerve signals between the brain and spinal cord would no longer be working.
Which tumor would show symptoms first a ventral cavity tumor or a dorsal cavity tumor?
dorsal
Can medulla oblongata be operated?
no.if one operates on it,breath control function will be lost and one will die.if more elucidation can be provided, i would be grateful.
What are some of the symptoms associated with a brain tumor?
There are many symptoms associated with a brain tumor. Some of the biggest and most prominent symptoms would be dizziness, vision problems, and clumsiness.
